GMS v.260 Stargazer patch notes: Sia Astelle, Erda Link and Challenger World

GMS v.260 arrived June 11, 2025. Stargazer introduced Sia Astelle and Oort, her constellation-based combat and Erda Link progression, alongside large changes to existing jobs and everyday systems. The Morning Star Banquet and Sia support events lasted through August 26 at 11:59 PM UTC. Challenger World continued into September, with transfer windows extending into October. Later corrections to these notes also extended the old Auction House claim deadline into September 2026.

Sia's sixth-job Erda Link used Sol Erda and Sol Erda Fragments through a connected Runestone tree. Its Skill UI displayed the tree, SHINE Stones, currencies, selected-node preview, Light Power range, total stats and access to Sol Erda Conversion.

Activating stones opened paths and expanded Light Power, subject to nodes with multiple prerequisites. Ineligible activation/enhancement buttons explained their requirements; eligible nodes glowed. Light Power enabled standalone Ultimate and Boost stones within its range.

Skill Sequence and common skill repairs

The Skill UI's Sequence button created up to ten named rows, each with a hotkey. A usable sequence required at least three skills. Skills ran left to right at configured intervals. The notifier could display used skills; the hotkey showed the longest remaining cooldown among registered skills, but ready skills could still execute while other entries cooled down.

Cooldown/reuse skills, insufficient-resource skills and ground-only skills attempted in midair were skipped with the relevant reason. Sequences ignored abnormal-status effects, and gaining one after activation did not stop a running sequence. Interaction-key commands did not trigger through the sequence: for example, a down-command Burning Soul Blade would remain fixed rather than be summoned. Action Customization retained its own on/off or command state, as with Jaguar Storm's summon toggle.

The June 11 guild-skill correction reduced Boss Slayers, Undeterred, For the Guild! and Hard Hitter cooldowns from 60 to five minutes and reuse fees from 30 million to five million mesos. These skills could no longer be used after entering a boss map, requiring activation before entry.

Common fixes allowed Adele's Advanced Giant Potion immediately after a Rune, applied Monkey Fury/Flashbang/Unicorn Spike debuffs together, retained sixth-job skills when resetting first–fourth-job SP and corrected inactive Mastery Node level/message behavior. Fury of the Wild's attack range increased about 30%. Summon buff icons now ended with Decent Holy Fountain, Holy Fountain, Obsidian Barrier in Burst/Torrent modes, Drill Salvo and HEXA Drill Salvo. Decent Sharp Eyes stopped repeatedly firing through pet auto-buffs.

Cooldown notices were repaired for Roll of the Dice and Grandis Goddess's Blessing; Buccaneer/Cannoneer/Mechanic's Double Down; Corsair's Scurvy Summons, Roll of the Dice, Double Down and HEXA Scurvy Summons; and Thunder Breaker's Gale/Typhoon.

Listing, reclaiming and collecting payment still required the originating world. The UI added current-world filtering, world markers, Maple Point balance and an other-world item icon.

Legacy items/mesos from before June 11 maintenance used Claim Existing Auction Items in the Complete tab, including pre-February-28-2018 trades without a former claim period. The later August 19, 2026 correction set their deadline to September 9, 2026 before maintenance, when the claim button and unclaimed goods were removed. That revised legacy deadline was separate from the 2025 summer events.

Cross World Meso Market instead included the regional Challenger World in the same group: Scania/Bera/Aurora/Elysium/Challenger in NA and Luna/Challenger in EU. Existing trade costs/deposits first needed claiming through Miss Richfield via town Quick Move. Only one trade could be active at a time. Requests, cancellation and collection stayed in the initiating world, while ongoing/completed history could be viewed anywhere.

The account could request 100 trades daily, with a maximum 100-billion-meso request. Waiting capacity rose 1,000→10,000. The UI showed updating average costs for 100 billion mesos and buyout costs at 100-million/1-billion/10-billion increments, allowed viewing history/status and printing claim details through Mesos & Maple Points, and supported cancel/reprice/resubmit for incomplete trades. Completed trade costs could be collected even when completion occurred during an active session.

Genesis awakening, weekly dungeons and Sol Erda Conversion

Genesis Weapon Awakening now required a Commander's afterimage defeat plus Trace of Darkness. [Genesis Weapon] After the Destined Battle no longer required destroying the Genesis Crux. The trace balance capped at 1,500, and excess above a current quest's requirement carried to the next.

Party traces divided by the number of players who entered. The June 12 correction credited 100% of the required traces to a player who destroyed the Genesis Crux before June 11 but had not finished the current afterimage quest; already-completed quests received no such credit.

[Monster Park] Daily Medal Challenge reduced the printed daily-clear requirement from 77 to 30 and offered three Monster Park Extreme clears as an alternative. Existing progress was retained, and the Seven Day Monster Parker medal description was updated accordingly. Extreme closed until June 12 at 12:00 AM UTC, became weekly with EXP reward at 400%, and allowed two characters per world each week. It reset Thursday and was excluded from Sunny Sunday's Monster Park bonus. From Enemies to Friends moved to Memory and could no longer be completed.

Epic Dungeons likewise reopened June 12 at 12:00 AM UTC. Account clears rose to two weekly, with only one dungeon type per character per week. The selected account/world restrictions persisted even after resetting dungeon progress. High Mountain's Sun Surge/Prominence/Solar Flare authority costs fell 50/150/200→30/100/150. Stage 4–5 requirements fell 3,700→2,600 and stage 7–8 4,500→3,500; stage four's layout changed. Stage ten's Massacre damage against Tynos rose 20%→30% Max HP. Golden Bee waves used half as many monsters at double points, with art optimization and preloading to reduce stalls.

Sol Erda Conversion, accessible from HEXA Matrix or Erda Link, exchanged one Sol Erda for either 30 Faint Sol Erda Energy or one HEXA Booster. Both were world-tradable and expired the following day at 12:00 AM UTC. A sixth-job character could use the booster in a field within 20 levels. Defeating the summoned monsters within 100 seconds gave a large EXP reward.

Auto-Harvest and Link Skill changes

Auto-Harvest gained a hotkey and configurable notices for completion, remaining time on login, daily reset and an available but unstarted harvest. Plentyroid entered the Profession Credit Shop and opened Auto-Harvest when double-clicked while equipped.

The daily harvest limit fell eight→four hours, while Profession Credit caps rose 150→300 daily and 1,050→2,100 weekly. Switching characters or logging out paused progress; the same character resumed on return. Offline and character-selection time did not count.

• Mineral Selector Pouch
• Herb Selector Pouch
• Magic Powder Selector Pouch
• Essence Selector Pouch

Pouches/coupons were world-tradable for seven days. Plentyroid was permanent, untradable in Heroic or world-tradable in Interactive.

Link Skill transfer limits and fees after five transfers were removed. The same owned skill could be assigned simultaneously to several characters who completed Teaching Link Skill. Link Manager opened a revamped UI with three presets, + buttons for assignment and a view of unowned skills and their jobs/effects. Transferring, removing and preset access were prohibited inside boss maps.

Account-wide story skips and quest revisions

Arcane River/Grandis stories and boss prerequisites expanded their skip scope from world to account. After one character completed a regional story, another could view a summary or skip directly without prerequisite completion; associated quests completed and item rewards were awarded, with EXP excluded. Root Abyss skipping became account-wide after [Root Abyss] World Tree Rescue, selected at [Root Abyss] An Urgent Summons; an already-started Summons storyline could not be skipped.

Grandis and Arcane River daily kill requirements became 500/300/100 depending on the highest region unlocked. Their instant-completion fees became 1,000/600/200 Maple Points. Arcane River special-content rewards rose from 15 to 40 symbols per clear. Grandis quests completed between Wednesday's pre-patch reset and maintenance kept their record, while in-progress quests in that interval reset.

The Book of Arcane River in Maple Chronicle became temporarily unavailable. Regional revisions were:

Lion King's Castle added [Lion King's Castle] Finally, Forever; King's Dignity used the broken slate and Ifia's Treasure used Cecilia, with Defeat the Lion King access repaired. Fixing Eos Tower's starting requirements changed and it left the Ludibrium's Best Worker achievement. The Professional required level 100; its dialogue and that of Saffron's Herbalism Lecture and Cole's Mining Lecture matched the profession system. Dead Mine Cave Investigation required level 50. In-progress [Black Mage] Destiny Define received tab guidance.

Demon Slayer's position during Black Heaven and NPC illustrations obscuring Arcana daily-quest content were corrected. Medal quests returned to their proper categories, and [Shangri-La] Collapsing Shangri-La 2 regained its missing music. [Esfera] In Search of Tana could restart correctly. Leaving the party midbattle against Von Leon during [Genesis Weapon] Trailing the Traces of the Black Mage cleared Black Mage's Binding correctly. FriendStory's second-round bonus guide displayed correctly after resetting an episode. [Cernium (After)] Library in Flames map guidance and [Morass] Rage of the King's incorrect navigation to Mirror-touched Sea 3 and Mirror-touched Sea 4 were repaired. [Ghost Park] Normal Mode Challenge, [Ghost Park] Normal Mode Super Challenge and [Ghost Park] Normal Mode Survival Challenge returned to the appropriate categories and appeared in Quest UI. Tallahart's [Daily Quest] What a Lovely Day for a Quest, [Daily Quest] What a Gloomy Day… It'd be Better with a Daily Quest! and [Daily Quest] What Boring Day. Let's do a Quest! correctly counted toward achievements.

Interface changes: placement, appearances, quests and chat

Legion placement gained job filters and Automatic Placement: selecting members and desired regions searched for a suitable arrangement, which could then be applied.

The Equipment UI's Medals/Titles panel separated stat-granting Equip slots from visual Appearance slots. One medal and one title displayed regardless of equipment preset. Appearance used only image/text, respected Fusion Anvil and could be toggled, but required something in Equip. The separate Medal UI added collection sorting by newest/oldest/A–Z/Z–A, equipped markers, category-filtered quests, search and full hover previews.

Quest Log reorganized Story, Repeat, Guide and Cash tabs. Story filtered required/job/skill/region/boss/content/system quests; Repeat opened Maple Planner, Guide opened official guides and Cash opened Cash Shop. Each tab separated In-Progress/Available/Completed, prioritized completable/recommended/frequently used/level-appropriate quests and dimmed out-of-range quests. NPC/mob/map names in details highlighted their location on World Map. Event participation quests left this UI.

The notifier expanded five→20 quests, adding new quests automatically when space remained, moving new/completed entries upward and removing the bottom entry when full. NPC dialogue gained category icons; the lightbulb followed the same recommendation/category/level sorting.

Key Binding added account-saved defaults for new characters/resets and importing one preset's bindings into another. Jobs with restricted tutorials gained access afterward. Emoticons gained :name: chat input/autocomplete for owned emoticons, favorites and a Key Bindings shortcut, but remained unavailable in Megaphones. New basics were Orange Mushroom, Pepe, Pink Bean, Yeti, Rock Spirit, Roo-bot, Chu Chu Island Tomboy, Desert Rabbit and Boss Battle.

Internal/external Chat windows moved controls and gained their own settings, including default/party fonts and 24 colors. Those settings left Options, and Battle became the Etc tab. Other interface changes included Maple Point/cost display in Epic Dungeon rewards, weapon-motion/Cash-weapon previews, correct attack motion for Guns/Claws/Dual Bowguns/Hand Cannons/Soul Shooters/Whispershots, blacklist icons, updated name-change/confirmation windows and Evan/Zero skill-book buttons. Monster Collection double-click highlighted a monster's map; leaving Culvert through the portal or Daedal in Path from the Altar prompted confirmation; up to three cooldown notices displayed.

The Maple Guide message now explained attempts to access Special Content from an unlisted map, and the character-selection Hyper Burning button disappeared outside the event. Cash items could be equipped in Cash Shop Preview. Cooldown notices appeared in the correct position, and Guild UI no longer interfered with hotkeys. The Symbol Express Pass stopped showing bottom-area Tallahart tooltips while the region was hidden.

Adding Raid Power in character selection no longer displayed a negative value for an offline character. Maple Chronicle could open from Grand Athenaeum when no other action was in progress; the Profession Production completion window closed after finishing. Evan and Zero's skill books displayed V Matrix/HEXA Matrix hover descriptions. Uploading a guild mark immediately started its ten-minute change cooldown. Resetting hotkeys enabled both Back to Original and Save.

Party loot distribution and encounter fixes

Party Settings gained Distribution pick-up rights. After a boss, every member received the Power Rebirth Crystal; other drops were assigned randomly through Boss Rewards. Leaving the party/map during setup excluded that player, and solo parties always used All.

Special high-value drops assigned every party member a random number from 1–999, with the highest winning. Distribution proceeded even if someone did not actively participate in the roll. Rewards were collected from Storage Room's Boss Rewards tab.

Kaling retained the Interact/Harvest UI position. In Normal and Hard Limbo, Shadow of the Source moved correctly during phase two's Beyond the Bounds of Truth, while phase-three Snatching Grasp and Mastermind Glutton correctly inflicted their abnormal statuses. Normal Papulatus could recover HP by absorbing Otherworld Papulatus in phase two. Elite Monster/Boss modifier text gained the correct spacing, and monsters without horizontal movement no longer had their movement reset by the player's position.

Town Portals, teleport access and graphics

Town Portals in major towns selected Maple World, Grandis or Arcane River and then a destination town. Hyper Teleport Rock became a World Map feature with a five-minute per-character cooldown, usable where teleporting was allowed. Cash Shop sales of Teleport/Hyper/VIP rocks ended June 11, but owned rocks retained their remaining duration and chase-character feature, including permanent rocks.

Premium Hyper Teleport Rock removed the integrated teleport cooldown for its purchased period, activated immediately and extended remaining time on repeat purchase:

World Map added map type, level/quest/Star Force/Arcane/Sacred requirements and NPC/mob details, plus display of the current map and up to four higher-level maps. Search filtered enemy/level, NPC or map; text colors identified enemies red, NPCs blue and maps green. Favorites could be reordered. Double-click/Hyper Teleport Rock/Go Now initiated travel and displayed the integrated cooldown separately from older item cooldowns.

Smart Mount was removed with [Smart Mount] That Thing for Manji, [Smart Mount] Wing's Homework, [Smart Mount] Mrs. Ming Ming's Lunchbox, Lend a Hand, [Smart Mount] Irvin and Social Responsibility, Irvin's Customer Care Center, [Smart Mount] Success with Irvin and Irvin's Gift. Mini-map gained instant Move to Town where allowed, Navigation access, NPC sorting by function/name/location and filters for NPC categories and character/party/friend/spouse/guild/alliance markers. Nearest Town Return Scroll left General Stores and its tutorial was removed.

Entering Karote Summit through Boss UI or Maple Planner returned the player to the original map. Minar Forest: Crossroad to the Canyon stopped showing its stray red dot. Ability resets were blocked in event maps, Odium: The Wellspring portals worked under the reported conditions, and Oz's Black Heaven illustration displayed correctly.

Smart AI Correction became an optional Graphics setting for smoother motion, with V-Sync recommended in the patch. Fast movement could distort label/medal/title text; glitches or poor performance were reasons to disable it. DirectX 11 support began June 11 and DirectX 9 support ended, with DirectX 11.0+ required.

Item and reward repairs

From July 1, Daily Gift replaced Hyper Teleport Rock with a world-tradable seven-day Premium Hyper Teleport Rock Coupon (one day). Angelic Buster's Compact tooltip clarified outfit conflicts; Compact could remain equipped independently, with its E marker visible even when a full Cash outfit hid the dress.

VIP Booster Flame monsters began counting for MAPLE Daily Gift, harvesting/mining requirements, Legion Artifact weekly missions, guild hunting points and the level-range kill achievement. Potential Stamps could be used on Genesis Lapis and Genesis Lazuli with two lines of Potential or Bonus Potential. Maplemas Cernium music entered Yeti Snowball Fight Chair and Pink Bean Snowball Fight Chair playlists. Pet Equipment Pure Clean Slate Scroll 100% wording and pet-name spacing were updated.

Apprentice Witch Hallowkitty Emoticon icons returned to the correct position. Androids no longer produced the reported ladder/rope appearance bug; Brown Hare Expedition Backpack and White Hare Expedition Backpack back views were corrected. Maple Style Magazine, Exciting Home Party and Dream Debut Performance Chair displayed properly. Unequipping an item cleared its incorrect Skill UI entry; Cash-item skills worked through Outfit Presets and on Zero's Beta.

Luminous could no longer relearn every first-job Light and Darkness skill with Special SP Reset Scroll. Effect Rings stopped appearing on nonhumanoid androids. Kanao Hair shadows, Maha the Polearm, Jade Silk Outfit (M) and Jade Silk Outfit (F) received visual repairs. Green Drag, Purple Drag and Blue Drag regained proper chat bubbles, and Green Drag's label image was corrected. Pets that had learned Auto-Potion could use potions correctly while the character was under attack.

Morning Star Banquet: the item-or-coin choice

Morning Star Banquet ran June 11–August 26 at 11:59 PM UTC for level-101 characters after Gob's Call, with Zero after Act 2. Head Servant in Imperial Villa: Hanging Gardens offered [Morning Star] Perfect Feast Prep. Progress was account-wide.

Daily Feast Prep allowed five login check-ins weekly and 50 overall. Each gave 3x EXP Coupon (30 minutes) ×3, Morning Light ×5 and Starlight ×5, then an irreversible choice between that day's item and its Memento Coin amount. These were alternatives, not two rewards from the same claim.

Items were world-tradable with August 27 at 2:00 PM UTC expiry, except the Heroic flames at days 39/49 expired at that day's maintenance start. Redeemed mount, effect, rings and outfit were permanent/untradable; the chair and background were permanent/world-tradable. The pendant lasted 30 days. Skin choices were permanent/world-tradable; symbols and prism items lasted seven days after selection. The feast's ring choices were listed with seven-day durations, unlike the permanent ring choices in the coin shop. Breumiroid was permanent, untradable in Heroic or world-tradable in Interactive, and did not support hair/face changes or Cash equipment.

Special Feast Prep required 2,000 monsters within 20 levels, three times weekly and 30 overall, and could complete three records at once. Every record gave 1,000 Memento Coins. Wednesday at 12:00 AM UTC reset weekly records; 3,000-Maple-Point Daily/Special passes completed missed eligible records. Completing all Daily Prep gave a 14-day Transcendent Growth Potion; all Special Prep gave a 14-day Hyper Burninator.

The Burninator gave 1+4 leveling through 260 to a non-MAX character at level 10–258; Zero needed level 200–258 and Act 2. It replaced Mega/Tera Burning, could not be canceled, and its effect lasted until November 11 at 12:00 AM UTC. It could not be claimed in Challenger after all five leaps were used. Banquet Magnificent Growth Potions and Transcendent Growth Potions allowed burning characters. Advanced EXP Vouchers required level 260, with Zero after Act 2; characters at 290 and above received the level-290 EXP amount. Redeemed backgrounds could not leap; the coupon itself could make one Challenger departure.

Morning Starlight Harvest and the banquet attractions

[Morning Starlight Harvest] Angelo's Request opened Harvest after feast participation. Daily Prep supplied five Morning Light and five Starlight; the Morning Light Phantom passive supplied the chosen benefits until August 26. Participating characters in the world shared learned benefits. Each upgrade step cost 1/3/8/13/20/25 of the relevant point type at levels 1–6. Points could also be purchased for 1,000 Maple Points each, with purchase counts accumulating and the weekly purchase record resetting Thursday.

Stats, Monster Collection chance and Legion bonus coins could not activate in Challenger. Daily reward benefits applied once per world each day, at a chosen quest/character; declining allowed a later eligible claim elsewhere. They could not retroactively improve an already-completed quest. Tenebris daily quests received only the EXP part; Grandis covered Cernium through Tallahart. Bonus Legion Coins did not count toward coin achievements. Additional boss Sol Erda came from the loot box at Hard Lotus and higher encounters.

[Servant Story] Story of Servants through Kieran gave Morning Star Display Case once per account and hints for other hidden achievements. Banquet's Blessing granted level-based EXP every five seconds in Hanging Gardens until August 26. Breumi's Clean Up ended earlier, July 15: its Sweep Sweep hunting skill filled after 300 level-range kills and triggered Breumi's Exciting Clean Up with EXP.

Memento Coin, Victory Badge and meso shops

Tia's Memento Coin Exchange shared acquisition/spending across the account and remained open until August 27 at 2:00 PM UTC. Ordinary purchases expired August 31 at 11:59 PM UTC and were world-tradable unless stated otherwise. “Interactive” and “Heroic” restrictions below included their corresponding Challenger World, except rows explicitly excluding Challenger.

• Heroic Meso Pouch x10 Coupon
• Pet Equipment Scroll Selector Coupon
• Awake Ring
• Fairy Heart Coupon
• Karma Special Heart Scroll Selector Coupon
• Arcane River Droplet Stone
• Stone Origin Droplet
• Mysterious Monsterbloom
• Magnificent Growth Potion

The character-slot notes also allowed multiple purchases while below the maximum despite the table's five limit; the table and maximum-slot prohibition are both retained here. The Legendary Circulator note stated it could not be used on Legendary abilities. Ordinary Extreme Growth Potions excluded burning characters, required level 130 and gave level-199→200 EXP at 200+; the Challenger-exclusive version allowed Challenger Tera Burning characters. Use items consumed in inventory order and purchased scrolls filled available scroll bags.

Victory Badge collection was listed June 29–August 26, while Mallon's shop opened June 11 and closed August 27 at 2:00 PM UTC. Solo or solo-party weekly clears, including Practice Mode, gave credit; dying out or leaving before victory did not. Only the best eligible clear's badge value counted, with a higher later clear paying the difference. The account capped at 2,000 Victory Badges and 50 Special Victory Badges weekly, usable in the world earned, resetting Thursday.

Normal Kalos awarded ten Special Victory Badges. Extreme Lotus, Normal/Hard Limbo, Normal/Hard/Extreme Kaling, Chaos/Extreme Kalos and Extreme Seren awarded 50. These were also best-clear values rather than additive per-boss sums.

Except the stated duration/permanence exceptions, purchases were world-tradable through August 31. Regional Sacred Symbol redemption required that region's story completion, and scrolls used available scroll-bag space.

Nia's Meso Shop had the same August 27 at 2:00 PM UTC closing time. Goods were world-tradable and expired August 31 unless permanent below.

• Cyclops Eye Lv.1
• Cyclops Eye Lv.2
• Cyclops Eye Lv.3
• Dragon Pop Headband
• Spirited Nine Tails

Hyper Burning MAX and Tera Blink

Hyper Burning MAX ran June 11–August 26 at 11:59 PM UTC for new characters or existing level-200–258 characters, with Zero after Act 2. Sia Astelle was excluded. MAX supplied four extra levels per level-up from 10–260; Zero received ordinary levels until 200. Existing characters could not claim milestones already reached, such as a level-235 character claiming 200–235 rewards.

Creation support included a 30-day Snail, permanent Frozen Hat, Frozen Cape and Frozen Suit and weapon/secondary boxes, Eternal Flame Ring and a 15-Star Root Abyss set with 90-day Hat/Top/Bottom/Fafnir weapon, Epic Potential and no Transfer Hammer/Scissors. Creation coupons/chests expired August 26 at 11:59 PM UTC; the Frozen weapon/secondary boxes lasted seven days. Eternal Flame Title had 60-day stats. Zero could not use Frozen Weapon Box, Frozen Secondary Weapon Box or the 15-Star Fafnir Weapon Box; an already-owned Eternal Flame Ring blocked another coupon use.

Arcane Symbols were permanent/untradable. Most consumables/coupons and the listed MAX medal lasted seven days and were untradable; the level-210 Challenger Nodestones specifically had an August 26 at 11:50 PM UTC expiry. Boss accessories and selected AbsoLab/Dominator equipment were permanent. Tenebris Expedition Ring and Awake Ring choices included their seven-day enhancement scrolls. Hyper Burning Crown, Hyper Burning Robe and Hyper Burning Sword were permanent with 30-day stats; Infinite Flame Title was permanent with 60-day stats. Medal of Honor contents lasted 30 days. Abyss Hunter Ring was permanent and tradable once within the same account/world.

Tera Blink served new level-ten Hyper Burning MAX characters, with Zero created after June 11 and through Act 2. Players entered through [Tera Blink] World Inside the Hat. Spiegelmann hosted training in World Inside the Hat, with 23 EXP missions, 40-minute visits, free entry/exit and removal of mission buffs on exit. Cadena, Ark and Illium needed their tutorials to gain EXP. Rewards were permanent Spiegelmann's Power Elixir ×1,000, Dazzling Hat pet with 90-day magic, Dazzling Hat's Aura, Spiegelmann's Dazzling Hat Effect and world-tradable Spiegelmann's Hat Chair.

Item Burning and Challenger World

Item Burning began June 11–November 11 at 11:59 PM UTC. Level-200 characters who completed A Greater Power, or Zero after Act 2, could claim an Item Burning Box from the Event List. The box was world-tradable; its eight job-appropriate Challenger pieces (weapon, hat, top, bottom, gloves, shoes, cape and shoulder) were untradable. Their Bonus Stats were predetermined. Dropping, selling, extracting, scrolling, Star Force, Transfer Hammer, transmission and resetting Bonus Stats or Potential were restricted.

Zero could apply the Lapis/Lazuli Challenger set effect through the Item Burning UI when a different equipment set effect was present. The button was disabled when the Challenger effect was already applied.

Challenger World itself ran June 11–September 24 at 2:00 PM UTC, while mission claims ended September 23 at 11:59 PM UTC. Accounts chose either Challenger-Heroic or Challenger-Interactive permanently for the season; deleting every character did not allow switching. Five characters were permitted, and Character Slot Expansion Coupons could not be used. New Challenger-Heroic accounts did not receive the Heroic Gift Box reserved for Kronos and Hyperion.

Challenger Skill granted 1.5x EXP, Attack Power/Magic ATT +50, Normal Enemy Damage/Boss Damage/Ignore Defense/Critical Rate/Critical Damage/Buff Duration +30% each, Knockback Resistance +100%, All Stats +50 and HP/MP +2,500. It disappeared on World Leap. Maple Guide training maps through level 259 were individually instanced for up to ten players; Grandis maps supported eight.

Each of the five characters could claim a seven-day Pearl Maple Armor Set Box once, with permanent untradable Pearl Maple Hat, Pearl Maple Suit, Pearl Maple Cape, Pearl Maple Gum, Pearl Maple Pendant, Pearl Maple Buckle, plus permanent Power Elixir ×1,000 and tradable Spell Trace ×1,000. Deletion did not refresh that claim limit.

Up to three characters could receive Tera Burning's extra two levels per level-up from 10–200. Its Mysterious Cryptic Chest lasted seven days and contained a 30-day Snail pet. The level-30 box, Legendary Cryptic Chest, Root Abyss Set Box (Time-Restricted) and Eternal Flame Title Coupon expired September 24 at 2:00 PM UTC. Contents included permanent level-30 equipment; permanent Frozen Hat, Frozen Cape and Frozen Suit and seven-day Frozen Weapon/Secondary boxes; 90-day Root Abyss Hat/Top/Bottom with a seven-day Fafnir Weapon Box; and a permanent Eternal Flame title. Rewards were untradable.

Challenger points, tiers and shop

Opening the Challenger UI credited level and boss missions. Level 260 gave 1,000 points/coins, 265 gave 2,000/2,000, 270 gave 3,000/3,000, 275 gave 5,000/4,000 and 280 gave 7,000/5,000.

The daily hunting mission required 1,000 monsters within 20 levels and a Mission Complete claim, giving 100 Challenger Points and 300 Challenger Coins. It was limited to once daily and five times weekly per account; a missed daily mission could be completed for 3,000 Maple Points.

Every tier included its Season 1 medal coupon, world-tradable until September 24 at 2:00 PM UTC, giving a permanent untradable medal. Other tier rewards were:

Emerald and higher rewards could also be claimed in eligible non-Challenger worlds. Each listed Ultimate Legion Growth Potion grant was ten in Challenger Worlds, Interactive Worlds, Luna and Kronos, or 15 when claimed in Hyperion. The Hyperion acceptance agreement prevented the same grant being claimed in Challenger-Heroic or Kronos. Nonpermanent tier coupons, Sol Erda and growth potions expired September 24 at 2:00 PM UTC; selected Challenger skill rings shared that expiry.

Except the untradable Mystical Cube and Spell Trace, shop items were world-tradable. Items without a separately stated duration expired September 24 at 2:00 PM UTC.

• Challenger Ring of Restraint
• Challenger Continuous Ring
• Challenger Weapon Jump S Ring
• Challenger Weapon Jump D Ring
• Challenger Weapon Jump I Ring
• Challenger Weapon Jump L Ring

Challenger World Leap deadlines and blocked items

The first leap window ran August 27 after maintenance–September 23 at 11:59 PM UTC. The second ran September 24 after maintenance–October 16 at 11:59 PM UTC. Up to five level-130 characters could leave. Characters remaining after the event entered the leap zone, where growth items, Cash Inventory, Auction House and Delivery Package Storage were unavailable. Characters not moved by the final deadline were deleted.

A needed character slot could be added automatically, but a destination already at its maximum slots could not receive a leap. Guild membership, a pending guild request or guild leadership blocked transfer. Cash Inventory, Auction House and Delivery Package items/mesos did not move; backgrounds needed extraction through the Mover NPC. Event coins and shared skills did carry over.

The following inventory items blocked departure: Mystical Cube, Karma Solid Cube, Karma Bonus Mystical Cube, Karma Star Force 17-Star Enhancement (Lv. 160), Challenger Lv. 4 Special Skill Ring Selector Coupon, Challenger Ring of Restraint, Challenger Continuous Ring and Challenger Weapon Jump S Ring, Challenger Weapon Jump D Ring, Challenger Weapon Jump I Ring and Challenger Weapon Jump L Ring. This made spending or removing restricted rewards part of preparing to leap, rather than merely choosing a destination.

Hyperion leap, Summer's Guide and Luxe Sauna

Kronos-to-Hyperion World Leap ran June 11–August 26 at 11:59 PM UTC for level-101 characters created before June 11 at 12:00 AM UTC, with Zero after Act 2. Mover in Henesys or the Event UI handled departure; Hyperion characters could not leave through it. Legion progress could travel in a Legion Leap Box, and the transfer returned the player to login to reconnect in Hyperion.

The listed Hyperion perks ran June 18 after maintenance–June 21 at 11:59 PM UTC: Rune EXP effect +100% (3x normal EXP), Combo Kill EXP +300%, double Pollo/Fritto/Especia and Inferno Wolf exit EXP, and double new Monster Collection chance. The separate 1.5x Item Drop benefit expired June 22 at 8:59 AM UTC.

Summer's Guide ran June 11–August 26, with account-shared missions and once-account claims. Spiegelette guided each level-gated objective. Reward items were world-tradable and expired August 27 at 2:00 PM UTC unless redeemed exceptions are described below.

First Steps cosmetics and the medal were permanent/untradable. Selected VIP EXP/Stats buffs lasted one day and were world-tradable. A level-200 character could use Legendary Elixir Coupon after an account character completed Collector's Request, selecting untradable seven-day Sayram's Elixir or Aurelia's Elixir. Claims ended August 26 at 11:59 PM UTC.

Luxe Sauna used the same June 11–August 26 period and level-101/Zero Act 2 gate, allowing burning characters. A world-tradable seven-day coupon charged 30 minutes, or 3,000 Maple Points charged one hour, with up to 24 hours weekly and Thursday resets. Charging could not extend beyond the event's remaining time. Hotel Receptionist in Sleepywood Hotel or the event panel admitted a character while charge remained.

In the Luxe Sauna Room, EXP arrived every five seconds, capped at the level-289 amount. Account-shared charge decreased only inside the room and paused offline. The sign displayed remaining time; exhausted charge removed the character, and unused time stopped awarding EXP after the event.

Hit the Road claims and enhancement calendars

Hit the Road's participation period ended June 10 at 11:59 PM UTC; its previously unlocked Preparation Gifts became claimable June 11 after maintenance–June 24 at 11:59 PM UTC. Level-101 characters, with Zero after Act 2, took Ms. Song's Precursor Event. One daily account check-in required 1,000 level-range kills alone, resetting at 12:00 AM UTC; missed participation cost 3,000 Maple Points only until June 10. Each record unlocked both reward tracks, with different claim windows.

Odd participation records 1/3/5/7/9 gave ten VIP Boosters each; even records 2/4/6/8/10 gave five VIP Buff Selector Coupons each. They were world-tradable, claimable only before June 10 ended and usable until June 11 at 1:59 PM UTC; selected buffs lasted one day.

Preparation rewards were world-tradable until June 24. The first box's cosmetic coupons lasted seven days and gave permanent untradable cosmetics. Sol Erda use required level 260, 6th Job and space below its owned cap. All claims were once per account.

Miracle Time ran on these full UTC Saturdays for level 101+, with Zero after Act 2. Eligible rank-up cubes were Glowing Cube, Bright Cube, Bonus Glowing Cube, Bonus Bright Cube, Violet Cube and Cube of Equality.

Sunny Sunday had the same level/Zero gate:

Steam Community Market closure and refunds

Oswell was removed after June 11 maintenance. The June 25 correction opened the Steam Community Market refund feature on June 26 at 12:00 AM UTC. Players with items bought on the Steam Market or left in Steam Inventory after June 11 could retrieve them and request the refund through Maple Administrator. This was the closure process for the earlier beta, with a different entry NPC from its original upload workflow.
